by Mike MichalowiczIMPORTANT NOTICE:Hey friend, Kendall E. Matthews
here for Read Everything. I created Read Everything Book Reviews
for Busy People because I wanted to share great concepts and ideas
with my partners, associates, and employees.
I dont expect them read over 80 books per year or get up at 4:30 a.m., but I do expect them to be the best AND to continue learning.
All credit is being given to the author(s). The majority of content, when quoted, comes right from the book.
Moving Forward,
